Just My Opinion

Why do we leave the best of everything for our guests? Best towels, sheets, quilt, China, cut of meat… Who are we trying to impress? I’m not saying we should treat them like dogs, throwing them our remains when we’re done eating (something we don’t do for our dog). But, look at it. We invite them into our homes, and demonstrate to them. “this is how we do not live.” I stayed with some friends last month and I was frightened the whole time. Afraid to sop up the water on the bathroom floor with the special towel (only one available to me). Afraid to grasp a wine glass too tightly cause it might shatter. Call me casual, but I’d rather be treated like family, which means not so good. Just my opinion.
